Global Daily Tax News, Sweden Reassessing Property Values, (Sep 14, 2026)

Sweden has begun contacting homeowners, as part of efforts to update property tax values.

In communications being sent to 2.5 million owners of single-family homes, homeowners will either be asked to submit a declaration or will receive the tax authority's proposed new valuation. These new valuations will be largely based on sales prices of similar properties in the area.

The tax agency said: "If you have received a tax assessment proposal and everything is correct then you do not need to do anything at all. If you have received a property declaration then you have information to report and submit."

"It is important that you check that the information about your property is correct. For example, if you have added to the house or renovated the kitchen or bathroom since 2024, you need to update your information. If everything in the proposal is correct, you do not need to do anything."

The e-service opened on September 7, 2026. Paper forms will be sent out from September 23 to those who do not have a digital mailbox.

Homeowners should submit information or request amendments by November 2, 2026, before the new assessment value is assigned in June 2027.

The tax agency said, "Since housing prices have fallen in large parts of the country since the last assessment, many are expected to have a lower assessment value in 2027. On average, assessment values are expected to decrease by three percent."
